This song is my ode to Mission Beach - the place I love so much. Enjoy!
lyrics
I'm goin' down to Mission Beach where I can be with friends, and we'll cruise on the streets.
Oh we all know that it's gonna' be good. We'll soak up the sun just like we should.
We say it's gonna' be a really good night, North or South, we're gonna' party tonight.
Hit up Santana's, maybe Sara's too, no need to be upset 'cause I'm with my crew.
Oh I think I saw a dolphin swimming in the ocean blue.
Mission Beach, I write this song for you.
You're always good to me when I swim in your cold sea.
Mission Beach, you are my one true love, and if that is not enough, then I guess we're out of luck.
Late at night you are infested with bums.
It freaks me out, but I still come.
You give them a home and so much more - a place to rest in the sand offshore.
My buddy yells at me, "Hey Beau! We need to ride that rollercoaster."
I say no way 'cause we need six bucks, but I rummage up some money thanks to my good luck.
Oh I hope I don't get sick, going around the bend.
Mission Beach, you're the friend we never had.
You give lost souls a place to go when they're feeling oh so sad.
Mission Beach, I owe my life to you.
I guess that's a bit of a stretch, but it's also kind of true.
Mission Beach, I write this song for you.
You're always good to me when I swim in your cold sea.
Mission Beach, you are my one true love, and if that is not enough, then I guess we're out of luck.
